In Westphalia, Zaphir competed in the premium ring for the best stallions. He comes from the first crop of the premium stallion Zanetti, who has already won advanced level dressage competitions under Patrik Kittel/SWE. Zanetti himself is a son of Grand Prix winner Zoom under Helen Langehanenberg. He helps the performance line of the Olympic stallion Zack to renewed glory – here in brilliant connection to the breeding heroes De Niro, Flemmingh, Ahorn, and Uppercut xx.
The third dam, keur pref prest Iniki, produced the licensed stallion Bournedale (by Indoctro) and several successful show jumpers such as Promise Me (by Lauriston), with whom Ian Millar/CAN placed in the Olympic course in Athens/GRE in 2004, Saniki (by Corland; 1.50 m show jumper)/Roberto Miceli/ITA and the two-time World Show Jumping Championship participant Cardieno VDL (by Cardento; 1.40 m show jumper)/Ernesto Canesco/MEX.
The Iniki daughter Zaniki (by Lux Z) produced the 1.55 m show jumper Indekann HK/Hendrik-Jan Schuttert/NED and the CCI4* eventing horse Full Moon (both by Kannan)/Adam Trew/GBR. Another daughter produced Bo (by Sydney), who is successful in the small dressage tour.
The mare line 11, breeding family 199, also produced the licensed stallions Equador (by Voltaire) and a Maximus VDL son licensed in Westphalia in 2024, as well as numerous sport horses, including the 1.60-meter jumper Pedro (by Koriander), Edison H (by Zuidhorn), Apollo (by Erdball xx) and Vaniek-H (by Hamlet), as well as the advanced level dressage horse Wanliki (by Stravinsky xx).
